Even More Cost Savings
Because paying taxes occurs annually, tax preparation software companies charge full price each year. And that means the cost savings from purchase of the cheaper tax preparation software are repeated yearly.

Also, Schedule D Tax Tool does not require full price purchase every year. Schedule D Tax Tool is a one-time payment with a forever license, that can be used year after year to generate the TXF file of stock and options trades.

Any upgrades are optional, and would be at the discounted upgrade price.

The price of tax preparation software can run from $25 to $99 or more. It is cheaper, more efficient, more accurate, and more secure to use the above process.

In general, it is recommended to purchase the cheapest desktop edition of tax preparation software, because upgrading is easy. The cheaper software will ask during the interview process whether you would like to upgrade, regardless of whether it is really worthwhile. On the other hand, it requires a lot of effort to downgrade, because you have to contact customer support, go through a refund process, remove the expensive product, and finally install the cheaper edition.

Most brokers will let you download all your transaction data for stocks and options into CSV or XLSX spreadsheet format. You can then make some fairly straightforward modifications, like removing non-trade data, so that Schedule D Tax Tool can process the file.

Schedule D Tax Tool upgrades may be released with enhanced features. Purchase of the upgrade is not required, and the initial product can be used for many years. However, the upgrade price is substantially lower than the initial purchase, so it is typically worth upgrading at tax time each year for the extra features.
